Training camp - Istebna - 7-12 July 2020

Schengen borders are open again, so welcome to Poland!

In order to bring road cycling enthusiasts to the picturesque part of the Race Around Poland route in the Silesian Beskid region, we decided to invite you to the best place in Istebna, i.e. Agrotourism "Na Polomiu". The location is breathtaking. No wonder that it is a permanent place for open-air painting. Away from the hustle and bustle of cars, but with good access. Surrounded by forest, meadows and mountain views.

Think. You get up in the morning in the beautiful natural surroundings, eat a delicious cycling breakfast prepared by the landlady, Renata. You get on your bike. Right near Szarcula, Presidential Castle, Kubalonka Pass... At the top - the coffee in good company and with beautiful views. Replenishment of fluids and calories. From the service car, you take your sweatshirt to the descent and rush on. After the training, you take a bath, give your clothes to the laundry, have lunch and dinner with dessert by Renata and it's time to relax. A nap, a sauna, a walk, maybe a visit to the Jerzy Kukuczka Museum? And at the end of the day, stories about ultracycling, a fireplace with a grill. Just have a good time! 

And you come home with a clear head, a strong leg and regional souvenirs.
